thank you george and chris. chris' patch is very elegant. i was not too far away, but conditional is of course the right way, instead of "range".. playing with values (min/max and probability) gives exactly the speed i was looking for. thank you very much
and yes, i realized that even "random" is not random in the sense one would think.. it gives me the exact "randomness" in every copied element..
